Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 17 Taikoo Valley
With the success of the movie "The Ghost and the Horse", the film industry department can just go step by step. Lei Liquan goes to the office one day every week and listens to the report.

At the office of Thunder Holdings, Lei Liquan read in the newspaper that Swire Properties announced that it would build a comprehensive development housing estate with commercial centers, schools, theaters and residential buildings on the Taikoo Dockyard site with an area of ​​230 million square feet. Named 'Taikoo Shing', it will build a total of 50 high-end residential buildings ranging from 28 to 32 floors, with more than 10000 residential units, which can accommodate 4.5 people, and a large-scale commercial shopping mall, Taikoo Center; the entire plan is expected to It will take 8 years and the total investment will be about 13.5 billion yuan.

Lei Liquan couldn't help but show joy on his face!

In fact, Swire Properties announced this news at this time out of helplessness.

In 1972, the Swire Group saw that Hong Kong's real estate industry was increasingly prosperous, while the world's shipping industry was beginning to slump, so it founded Swire Properties Limited to enter real estate. It planned to close Taikoo Dockyard and use its huge land for real estate development.

However, at the beginning, the Swire Group lacked real estate professionals. In order to absorb real estate experience, in 1973, it jointly acquired the small real estate company Jiancheng Real Estate with Chen Detai's Dachang Real Estate and reorganized it as Swire Development.

Swire Properties has learned two years of experience in real estate, and finally made a decision to implement the huge plan of 'Taikoo Shing'; although it is now a real estate trough, Swire Dockyard has been closed for nearly two years. If it is not developed, it is obviously a kind of Waste of resources.

Besides, even if the real estate market is at a low point, the land and property prices are still about the same as those in early 1972; it is precisely because of this that preparations for the Taikoo Shing project have begun.

The announcement of Taikoo Shing's plan had nothing to do with Lei Liquan, but Lei Liquan was still keenly aware of the opportunity. As far as he knew, Taikoo Matheson had not yet established enough confidence in real estate and had a conservative business style.

The initial start-up capital of Taikoo Shing in the previous life was HK$1.25 million from the sale of part of the land in Saixi Lake and Taikoo Valley. As a result, the two companies earned HKD 1 million from the purchase of Cheung Kong Holdings, which purchased Saixi Lake, and Nanfeng Development, which purchased No. [-] Taikoo Valley. Huge profits.

Among them, the Saixi Lake site is located in the mid-levels of North Point, Hong Kong Island. The site is in the famous scenic spot Saixi Lake, covering an area of ​​approximately 86.4 square feet. At that time, Li Chaoren allocated 5.3 square feet of land to build 10 high-end residential buildings, each building It is 24 stories high and has a building area of ​​more than 130 million square feet. It is planned to be completed in two years. Users can also get a parking space when purchasing the building. In the middle and late stages of the development of the building, just as the real estate industry is booming, it has made a profit of HK$1.3 million on residential buildings.

For the remaining 94% of the Saixi Lake site, Li Chaoren built a large-scale event venue integrating entertainment, sports and leisure, which is connected with the beautiful Saixi Lake scenic spot.

Li Chaoren bought the Saixi Lake land for only 8500 million Hong Kong dollars. As a result, he not only made a net profit of 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars, but also made a long-term property.

Among them, the Taigu Shanggu No. 4000 lot was bought by Nanfeng Development Co., Ltd. for more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars, and the famous Nanfeng New Village in the 12s was built. The whole project includes 28 residential buildings with 32 to 2800 floors, totaling more than 500 square meters. Each unit ranges from 700 square feet to [-] square feet, and there are two levels of parking and garden decks attached.The net profit of this project is as high as hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. With this project, Nan Fung has become an important real estate group in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.

At this time, Lei Liquan was looking for a source of profit, because his future plans were much bigger than Pong Tong, and no residential units had been built yet. These two sites were suitable for Lei Kee Development, and were used as a training ground to enter the field of large-scale housing estates.The main thing is to be able to find water.

Thinking of this, Lei Liquan called Lin Changming, who was in charge of Thunder's development.

"Swire Properties has announced the Taikoo Shing plan. They will definitely need to prepare start-up funds. With their conservative business strategy, they will definitely think of selling their land to obtain start-up funds. Contact them and say that we are interested in purchasing their Saixi Lake land. , or Plot No. 1 in Taikoo Valley. As for the specific price, don’t make an offer yet. If they are interested, I will talk to Shi York personally!”

Such a huge deal naturally requires the masterminds of both parties to negotiate, and Lei Liquan knows the 'base price', which is naturally beneficial to the negotiation.Of course, in order to snipe the development of Yangtze River Industries, Lei Liquan said that he would not care at all if it was slightly more expensive.

Lin Changming was not surprised to see that Lei Liquan knew so much about the land in Xiangjiang and its ownership. The boss had an extraordinary memory and liked to inquire about the situation of various properties in Xiangjiang. He was simply better versed in property sales than himself.

"Well, I'll go get in touch first!"

"Remember to be sincere, there is no need to make it appear that others have to sell it to us just because the real estate market is at a low ebb now!"

"I know, I won't make this mistake!"

"Well, go for it!" Lei Ting Development's real estate development plan must be based on the construction of large-scale housing estates. A large-scale housing estate has thousands of residential units, and the overall living environment will be more pleasant and more popular in Hong Kong. People like it.

At present, the main reason is that there is a little less money, but Lei Liquan has his own plans.

……

Lei Liquan called Tian Yun: "Do I have any entertainment tonight?"

Tian Yun knew the boss's work schedule very well, so he opened his mouth and said: "Wu Sheng of the film company has invited you to attend the celebration banquet tonight and have dinner at Bantian Sushi Restaurant in Mong Kok."

"Arrange a car to go to Mong Kok."

"It has been arranged and ready to go at any time."

"Let's go."

After driving for half an hour, Lei Liquan arrived at Choi Nam Street in Mong Kok, where there is a Fai Kee Building with Sakata Sushi Restaurant on the second floor.

Lei Liquan came out of the underground parking lot and was about to go straight up the stairs when he happened to meet a student girl with short hair. Seeing that he was surrounded by bodyguards and covered in name tags, she secretly looked at him.

Lei Liquan also noticed that this student girl looked familiar, so he asked: "Is Itada Sushi Restaurant on the second floor?"

"That's right. Are you coming to eat sushi too?"

The student girl opened her eyes and looked very big: "But you may not be able to get in. My father's film company is holding a celebration party tonight. There are too many people and there may be no room."

Her mouth was raised slightly, looking very arrogant, as if she was filming a movie, as if she was something special.

Lei Liquan smiled: "Is your father the leading actor in a movie?"

The student girl started to speak vaguely: "He has a very good relationship with the leading actor, Xu Guanwen, you know, he is famous all over Hong Kong. I can eat at the same table with Xu Guanwen later."

For gatherings in sushi restaurants, there is basically a long table.

She did not continue the topic of the protagonist, and raised her head and asked Lei Liquan: "This handsome brother, I always feel like I have seen you somewhere. Have you been on TV? May I ask what your last name is? Tell me your name. You can remember who you are."
